Figures, she was watching her phone not the road & gets away with it.

It's a cop out if I've ever heard of one that is the top of the list  discussing

[Kiwifruit]

They always witter on about speed being the cause of accidents .......the advertising says "the greater the speed the bigger the mess" 
Without doubt the greatest cause of accidents is lack of attention and distraction.

Off to jail, but not really ..... doesn't sent much of a message that justice has been served.
Then again the professional word twisters (lawyers) are as much to blame. She was using her phone.            (Sorry to offend if any of you guys are lawyers)

Our road code here says you must be able to stop in half the clear visible distance ahead.   I love being tailgated.... not !
Sad story.

That's an unbelievable and totally outrageous sentence. His family must be devastated at the leniency and I hope they appeal. I don't care how nice a person she is or how sorry she is. She killed a guy because she couldn't be arsed to concentrate. It's always the same with these stupid drivers "I didn't see him" or "he came out of nowhere" PAY ATTENTION and you WILL SEE A BIKE!

Listening to a podcast isn't watching or using the phone, no different than listening to talk back radio, she probably felt she had to find some excuse for her inexcusable actions

[Kiwifruit]

Thats the point....she was using her phone.
Driving requires 100% of you attention.

I still see hundreds of phone users everyday. Bus drivers, truck drivers and of course P plater girls, theyre the worst.

Dunno about over there Grog, but here young girls driving are entitled to do whatever the f@#k they want, & they'll tell you too.      Real entitled attitude coming through in some of them.

[steve porter]

Tradies in 4x 4 utes are the worst by far that I see daily

It's  not easy texting and putting their lippy on.

Have to admit to a concentration lapse myself today. Toiling away in the workshop and had some cashew nuts l was snacking on. Have been trying to entice the cat through the new cat door in the workshop. So l grab a handful of cat treats to put in her dish...... but popped them into my mouth instead. So easy to be distracted, meow.
